LADYS CAP.

This invention relates to improvements in caps.

It is the object of this invention to produce a cap of simple construction that shall be of neat appearance, which may be adjusted to fit various sizes of heads and which may be reversed if desired.

My invention, briefly described, consists of a crown portion formed double and of difierent colored material so that it may be re verse-d, if desired. Both sides are formed from six pieces and the edges of the seams are to the inside so that whatever side is on the outside will have a finished appearance. A brim made of one or more thicknesses has one edge attached to the lower edge of the crown throughout substantially the entire distance, a space being left unattached between the ends of the rim. A loop is attached to the crown midway between the points where the attachment of the brim starts and this loop is adapted to receive the ends of the brim so as to form an adjustable connection that simulates a bow.

In order more clearly to describe my invention, I shall have reference to the accompanying drawing in which the preferred embodiment has been illustrated and in which:

Fig. 1 is a view showing the parts in the position in which they are when the cap is worn;

Fig. 2 is a view showing the ends of the brim withdrawn from the loop; and

Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 33, Fig. 1.

Numeral 1 represents the outer fabric layer of the crown and 2 the inner layer. The two crown portions are preferably constructed exactly alike, but of different colored material and have the raw edges on the inside so that which ever side is on the outside will have a smooth finished appear-.

ance. A brim 3, which may be made of a single thickness or of two thicknesses of suit able material has one side attached to the edge of the crown from point w to 2 but being unattached along the space w, z, y. The brim has been shown as provided with a binding 4 sewed to its free edge. A loop 5 is attached to the crown at 2 half ways between oints a: and 3 and serves to receive the en s 6 and 7 of the brim and to hold them in the manner shown in Figures 1 and 3. The ends of the brim may be slid relative to each other so as to adjust the size of pearance except in respect to the color.

the cap. The ends of the loop 5 are secured between the parts 1 and 2 (Fig. 3) so that it may be bent to either side. The edge of the brim is also secured between the edges of the crown pieces so that the appearance will not be altered when the cap is reversed.

I want to call particular attention to the construction just described which embodies the loop because this permits of ready adjustment of size and gives a pleasing eiiect and at the same time permits the cap to be turned inside out without altering the ap- The loop may be made of any suitable material such as silk or elastic webbing or even of metal, the only requirement being that it shall serve the function for which it is intended.

Having now described my invention what is claimed as new is:

1. A reversible cap having a crown formed from two thicknesses of differently being adapted to receive and hold the ends; of the brim so as to permit adjustments of the size.

2. A reversible cap having formed from two thicknesses of differently colored material, a brim having one side edge secured in place to the crown for a distance of nearly the entire extent of the crown but leaving a space unattached between the points where the brim ceases to be attached to the crown, said brim being longer than the distance about the crown where it is attached thereto so as to leave two free ends, and a loop attached to the crown between the two thicknesses of material midway of the space between the points where the brim is attached, said loop being adapted to receive and hold the ends of the brim so as to permit adjustments of the size. p

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
